What a frostbitten weekend it is! Snowed in? Not to worry, we’re here to keep you warm with our roundup of all the hottest news stories you may have missed from us this week. A smaller iPad, Microsoft’s tablet, Google Nexus S jailbreak and more this way.

Google Nexus S already jailbroken
It’s only just been released, yet a Nexus jailbreak is already here. Where? Hit the link to find out.

iPad to to release before BlackBerry Playbook?
We’ve already seen way more of the BlackBerry PlayBook than Apple’s second generation iPad, but after RIM suggested the PlayBook won’t launch till March we could see Apple move in before then.

New MacBook Pro and iMac models coming early 2011?
That’s the word doing the rounds on the rumour mill.

Nintendo 3DS launch date revealed?
More like an announcement, realistically. Nintendo invited us to a briefing in Amsterdam, scheduled for 19 January 2pm UK time. The 3DS is set to launch in Japan on 26 February 2011, so we could know then when we’ll be getting our hands on the 3DS here in the UK.

LG Optimus: dual-core Android phone official!
It’s the first handset to pack a dualcore 1GHz Tegra 2 processor. That means it should be very quick in operation indeed. Read more about it here.

Sony PS3 to get more channels?
This week the PS3 got gifted ITV Player and channel 4’s 4oD on demand TV service. Sony told us there’s more to come. But what?

Microsoft Windows 8 tablet to battle iPad 2?
Microsoft has plans to battle the iPad 2 with a Windows 8 Tablet which may actually be shown off at CES 2011. Next month! Will we really get to see it as soon as January?

LG E90: LG’s slimmest monitor yet
Not only does it measure just 7.2mm in depth, it has a response time of just 2ms. It should do wonders for gaming.

Is Apple prepping a second, smaller iPad 2
Enjoying your shiny 9.7-inch tablet, iPad owners. How’d you feel about an even smaller version?

HTC EVO 4G spied
It’s been snapped and everything, with rumours suggesting a January 9th release. Hit the link to see it in the virtual flesh.

Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3 and Elder Scrolls V unveiled
Three very teasing trailers of each were shown at the annual Spike Video Game Awards (VGAs). You must watch them.

Posted: 18 Dec 2010 01:00 AM PST

Good Saturday to you! Don’t go out in the snow and ice today. Stay in, and open the Electricpig Advent Calendar instead! We’ve got Advent laptops, Android tablets, gaming PCs, digital photo frames and PC accessories to be won!

Today we’re asking for Christmas characters. It might be a character from a folk tale, a religious icon (can you tell we’re trying not to hint?) or even a celebrity, famed for their once-yearly appearances. All you have to do is log in using your Facebook ID (that’s really important, without it we can’t reliably contact you, or check you’re based in the UK) and tell us one in the comments section will win! Once we have a winner, we’ll reveal the prize they’ve scooped.

Each day we’ve got a mystery prize up for grabs thanks to the generous people at PC World. It could be a speaker system, a digital photo frame, a keyboard and mouse set, an Advent Amico tablet, Advent laptop or computer, or even a newly-released Advent Vega tablet.

What’re you waiting for? Scroll down, log in using your Facebook account and get commenting!

We have a winner!

Wow. That was scarily quick. Before we could refresh the page ourselves, Shirley Grover swooped in to name the biggest (and we mean that in the kindest sense) Christmas character of them all (well, except Jesus, maybe). Santa Claus! Congratulations Shirley. You’ve just bagged a brand new Sandstrom digital photo frame! Check back tomorrow for even more great prizes.

Check out more Advent products at www.pcworld.co.uk, and remember to come back tomorrow for another chance to win: we’ll offer up a fresh prize each day between 9am and 12 noon! Our usual terms and conditions apply.
